Adafruit I2C Scanner

The docs on the DS3231 indicates that the RTC I2C address is fixed at 0x68 and cannot be changed.
Yet the DS3231 example just reports
Couldn't find RTC
I am running the Arduino IDE Version: 2.0.0-rc9 and the the latest version of the DS3231 1.1.0
and here's the code. Why can't the RTC be found?
Code: Select all
// Date and time functions using a DS3231 RTC connected via I2C and Wire lib
#include "RTClib.h"
RTC_DS3231 rtc;
char daysOfTheWeek[7][12] = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"};
void setup () {
Serial.begin(57600);
#ifndef ESP8266
while (!Serial); // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB
#endif
if (! rtc.begin()) {
Serial.println("Couldn't find RTC");
Serial.flush();
while (1) delay(10);
}
if (rtc.lostPower()) {
Serial.println("RTC lost power, let's set the time!");
// When time needs to be set on a new device, or after a power loss, the
// following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled
rtc.adjust(DateTime(F(__DATE__), F(__TIME__)));
// This line sets the RTC with an explicit date & time, for example to set
// January 21, 2014 at 3am you would call:
// rtc.adjust(DateTime(2014, 1, 21, 3, 0, 0));
}
// When time needs to be re-set on a previously configured device, the
// following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled
// rtc.adjust(DateTime(F(__DATE__), F(__TIME__)));
// This line sets the RTC with an explicit date & time, for example to set
// January 21, 2014 at 3am you would call:
// rtc.adjust(DateTime(2014, 1, 21, 3, 0, 0));
}
void loop () {
DateTime now = rtc.now();
Serial.print(now.year(), DEC);
Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(now.month(), DEC);
Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(now.day(), DEC);
Serial.print(" (");
Serial.print(daysOfTheWeek[now.dayOfTheWeek()]);
Serial.print(") ");
Serial.print(now.hour(), DEC);
Serial.print(':');
Serial.print(now.minute(), DEC);
Serial.print(':');
Serial.print(now.second(), DEC);
Serial.println();
Serial.print(" since midnight 1/1/1970 = ");
Serial.print(now.unixtime());
Serial.print("s = ");
Serial.print(now.unixtime() / 86400L);
Serial.println("d");
// calculate a date which is 7 days, 12 hours, 30 minutes, 6 seconds into the future
DateTime future (now + TimeSpan(7,12,30,6));
Serial.print(" now + 7d + 12h + 30m + 6s: ");
Serial.print(future.year(), DEC);
Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(future.month(), DEC);
Serial.print('/');
Serial.print(future.day(), DEC);
Serial.print(' ');
Serial.print(future.hour(), DEC);
Serial.print(':');
Serial.print(future.minute(), DEC);
Serial.print(':');
Serial.print(future.second(), DEC);
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(rtc.getTemperature());
Serial.println(" C");
Serial.println();
delay(3000);
}
